Fans of Wentworth, the intense Australian prison drama, have been eagerly asking whether a tenth season is on the horizon. The show, known for its gritty storylines and unforgettable characters like Bea Smith, Franky Doyle, and Joan “The Freak” Ferguson, wrapped up its ninth season in October 2021. Since then, viewers have been left wondering if the story will continue. Let’s break down everything we know about the possibility of Wentworth Season 10, based on the latest updates.
A Quick Look Back at Wentworth
Wentworth is a modern take on the 1970s Australian series Prisoner: Cell Block H. Set in a Melbourne women’s prison, it follows the lives of inmates and staff, delivering raw drama, betrayals, and shocking twists. Premiering in 2013 on Fox Showcase, the show ran for nine seasons, with the final episode—its 100th—airing in 2021. The series gained a massive following in Australia, the US, and the UK, especially after landing on Netflix, where it once hit number seven on the US charts.
The ninth season, sometimes split into parts (with some calling the second half Season 8B), was billed as the show’s finale. Yet, its open-ended conclusion left fans curious about what could come next.
Is Season 10 Officially Happening?
As of June 2025, there’s no official word from Fox Showcase, Fremantle, or Netflix about a Wentworth Season 10. The show’s creators announced in 2019 that it would end after 100 episodes, with Season 9 serving as the conclusion. Articles from Newsweek and Wikiwand confirm this was the plan, giving the series a proper send-off. Despite this, fans have kept the conversation alive, hoping for a revival.
Back in 2022, RegalTribune mentioned rumors of a possible tenth season, but no solid updates have surfaced since. Social media fan discussions on platforms like Reddit and X show plenty of enthusiasm, but nothing concrete from the producers.
